Quoted from jwilson:People might think art is subjective, but there's actually a bunch of rules when it comes to graphic design and they're there for a reason - legibility, colour balance, layout, etc. A playfield isn't a painting, it needs to serve a specific purpose and the art as it stands fails to do that.
For example, did you know there's a bat on the playfield? Hard to tell since it's basically lost near the pops.
As such small numbers I don't think it's a deal breaker - clearly 300 people think it's fine. But that doesn't change the fundamentals of graphic design.
I did GUI design in my past life. An example of an excellent layout is Whoa Nellie. It is fairly busy, but overall simple, clever with good use of color. I would rate it the best I've seen. The worst? That would be a tough one since there are so many horrible play fields.
Quoted from thedarkknight77:#192......Perfect!!! May all the bugs be worked out by then.
Its down to just a couple. There aren't any game interfering bugs though. I'm just working out the differences between my version and the one that will be released.
I do have a bug/feature request site set up. Once games are in customers hand they will have access.

Thanks brother! I hope this game puts you on the map! We need some fresh ideas with code, right now there are only a few that we can count on.
209. Based on the 18 month timetable, that puts me somewhere around March 2017 for delivery. I'll just have to live vicariously through the low number buyers until then. I'm glad to have a spot!

But... But... In that thread asking about people being in and out, they were talking about how like 2/3rd of the people were out! How could that be! The sky is falling! Art is crazy! Yaaaaaaaarg!
In all seriousness, fantasygoat, art IS subjective, although there are rules that you can be taught to go by for normal stuff. I'm not normal. TBLs playfield to me is okay, but definitely not great. I am probably the only one who doesn't love RZs cabinet art. I really like the playfield art.
I might be wrong with traditional art rules, but I like what I like.
confirmed number buyers-
for what it's worth- I started a club thread to avoid the 6 mos of speculation, art disagreements, 3k posts etc.

Just got my confirmation and I love it that bi will be getting an LE. Number 25 for me...thanks Charlie and Kayte
Some have thrown around why they have been in or out on this and here is my version:
It was about my 7th grade year in school. I was listening to a ton of Metallica, Guns and Roses, Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Alice in Chains, etc.. One of my other black T-Shirt wearing, long haired buddies said "Hey, you need to check this out" and handed me a cassette tape LA Sexorcisto. It came at just the right time. This was one of few albums that I sat down and listened to straight through and played it again.
I was pissed off at everything, awkward, into metal and horror, interested in girls, video games, pretty much anything your parents don't want you looking at, thinking about, or listening to.
I love Rob's stuff Hellbilly and earlier. The music, theme, and gameplay look to be a freaking blast. RZSI looks like a teenage boy's dream pin. What's more Pinball than that?

Maddog14, I got the dreaded #51. I actually contacted Charlie minutes after the announcement, but didn't contact kayte. That's where I went wrong. I'm a big big zombie fan, been to half dozen concerts, met the man himself, survived front row, seen his movies and got my seven old daughter into him. She's 17 now. Yep, just missed the LE buy 1. Anywho, plan to meet the man again and have him sign my game pro. This game will be added to my signed GNR(sorum, slash,duff), signed Tommy(Roger Daltrey), signed Kiss(Ace, getting Paul and Gene next year) and signed translite for Metallica pro(Kirk). Anyone want out of the LE and switch let me know. The good thing about being low in the numbers is that I won't have to wait long for my game.
got my number!
now that we're committed, any interest in starting a petition to enhance the playfield art? nothing major but just something more in the middle lower (more gravestones, better insert tie-ins, more inserts besides the multipliers) . we are now paying customers and i think it would be beneficial for spooky to listen to customers requests. we are just trying to make it the best it can be. and that's spookys goal as well.
i understand it's probably not easy for them to approach Rob Zombie and about this but it's also not that big of deal either. just a few changes.
and maybe no one cares anymore and that's okay too. that's why i'm asking.

Someone should make some Adult overlays for this game.

I'm going to have to wait until 2017 to get my first NIB.
There are inserts being added above the gravestone, so some changes are taking place that will help break up the pf artwork a little.

Heh, from the downvotes I'm going with "no". 
Charlie's already spoken anyways, but regardless, how does it make sense to sign up for something, and then ask for change? If no one ordered maybe there would be change. Happened on AMH.
But by paying your $1000 you're voting with your wallet that you like it as is. I'd just let it go personally.
Still looking forward to the Jack Danger stream, and getting a chance to play it myself. I know someone getting #174, have to see what my other friend's # is.

Just wishful thinking.
My thought was now that we paid, maybe our voices are louder than just an angry pinside mob of people with no plans of committing.
i understand the other side as well.
I'll let it go now.
Damn all of you with your numbers and shit. Congratulations on getting a game I really wanted. Hope some of you will be flipping in a year or so
#247, towards the back, but timing-wise it actually works out well for me... looking forward to seeing the early adopter's experiences!

Quoted from Doot77:Just got my #, 243!
I'm #242
